Easy on the eye: good looking.
e.g. I say, your
girlfriend is easy on the eye.
Act your age: behave yourself
according to your age..
e.g. You’re almost an adult. Come on, act your age, and stop behaving like a spoiled brat!
Go: attempt.
e.g. Have a go at doing this on your own.
Easy mark: a likely victim.
e.g. If you are
so unsuspecting, you may become an easy
mark for swindlers.
Bazillion: a great number of.
e.g. The
national debt is now in bazillion
dollars, and the Congress needs to do something about that.
No way: not at all.
e.g. “Are you
going to give him a hand?” “No way;
he’ll be on his own.”
Beat: broke, no money.
e.g. Without a job, we are beat, no copper and no bread.
Chip on one’s
shoulder: a grudge against.
e.g. She still has a chip on her shoulder: your infidelity some
years ago.
Ace someone out: win out over
someone.
e.g. I plan to ace him out in the first round of the competition.
Ask me another: I don't know.
e.g. "Does
your daughter want a baby?" "Ask
me another!"
No two ways about it: no other alternative.
e.g. The man
had to file for bankruptcy; no two ways
about it. Stephen Lau
